What Students Are Saying
"Once you have the other two layers of learning from researching on your own and watching peers’ answers, the expert video is incredibly helpful. It allows you to see how practitioners approach and conceptualize the problems. Could not be more helpful."
"I love LawMeets. Keep them coming!"
"The learning is good for students to make the video. The learning is better once students vote and watch other responses. The learning is phenomenal when students get additional feedback by reading and watching the responses of practicing professionals."
"Expert videos are the icing on the cake!"

What Lawyers Are Saying
"I enjoyed the [LawMeet]. In fact, I wished I had started sooner, I would have done more."
Scott Price, Partner, Kirkland & Ellis LLP
"I really do not have enough good things to say about this idea. It is as much fun (and educational) for me as it is for the students. Overall, this is a very cool teaching tool."
Barbara Werther, Principal, Ober Kaler
"I think [LawMeets] are valuable for several reasons: 1) they give students practice in answering questions the way they are going to be asked – in person; and 2) they provide immediate feedback - both when the students look at the tape of their performance and when the experts provide feedback."
Charles Middleton, Senior Corporate Counsel, Oxbow
"[LawMeets] are beneficial because they cause the students to learn about real world issues and focus on giving real world advice."
Mike Sherman, Partner, Cozen O’Connor
